Blogger Spotlight: Maudie Lloyd

Maudie Lloyd, Columbus fashion blog

Maudie Lloyd, the voice behind the eponymous website, began blogging as a creative alternative to her day job. She spoke to use about developing your brand, looking for new styles and her favorite piece of fashion advice. See what she said below:

You've been blogging for quite some time. What made you decide to start blogging?

After I moved to Columbus in 2013, I started blogging as a creative outlet from my corporate job along with wanting to get to know the city. I love getting dressed up and will take any excuse to put outfits together; the blog gave me a reason to try out different looks and get dressed up. It also ended up being a fun way to meet new friends who share the same passion that I did. As my blog grew, I started using it as a way to share my tips and tricks on finding great deals and dressing with confidence. 

What advice would you give to someone just starting a lifestyle or fashion blog?

Be yourself and find your own style. There are a lot of blogs out there and it is easy to get caught up in what other people are posting, but focus on why you are doing it and sticking with your own brand. 

Where do you find inspiration for your posts?

I find inspiration for posts and outfits everywhere! Whether it is walking down the street, in a magazine, online, or movies. I always keep my eye out for new looks. I also find inspiration through upcoming holidays and events that my followers might be looking for guidance on how to dress. 

How would you describe your personal style?

My style is a combination of trendy, vintage, preppy, and whatever I might be feeling that day. I like changing up my looks and picking pieces that I love, then incorporating those into an outfit. 

What is the best piece of style advice you've ever received? 

Always take off one accessory before leaving the house.
